PRIVACY POLICY

1. INTRODUCTION

The American Ismaili Chamber of Commerce (“us,” “we,” “ISMAILI CHAMBER,” or “Company”) is committed to respecting the privacy rights of its customers, visitors, and other users of the Company Website (“the Site”). We created this Website Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) to give you confidence as you visit and use the Site, and to demonstrate our commitment to fair information practices and the protection of privacy. This Privacy Policy is only applicable to the Site, and not to any other websites that you may be able to access from the Site, each of which may have data collection, storage, and use practices and policies that differ materially from this Privacy Policy.

2. INFORMATION COLLECTION PRACTICES

2.1. TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED

(a) TRAFFIC DATA COLLECTED. We automatically track and collect the following categories of information when you visit our Site: (1) IP addresses; (2) domain servers; (3) types of computers accessing the Site; and (4) types of web browsers used to access the Site (collectively “Traffic Data”). Traffic Data is anonymous information that does not personally identify you but is helpful for marketing purposes or for improving your experience on the Site. We also use “cookies” to customize content specific to your interests, to ensure that you do not see any of the same advertisement repeatedly, and to store your password so you do not have to re-enter it each time you visit the Site.

(b) PERSONAL INFORMATION COLLECTED. In order for you to access certain services and make any payments via the Site, we may require you to provide us and/or an online payment provider with certain information that personally identifies you (“Personal Information”). Personal Information may include the following categories of information: (1) Contact Data (such as your name, mailing address, and e-mail address); (2) Financial Data (such as your account or credit card number); and/or (3) Demographic Data (such as your zip code, age, and income). If you communicate with us by e-mail, post messages to any of our chat groups, bulletin boards, or forums, or otherwise complete online forms, surveys, or contest entries, any information provided in such communication may be collected as Personal Information.

2.2. USES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED

(a) COMPANY USE OF INFORMATION. We use Contact Data to send you information about our Company or our products or services, or promotional material from some of our partners, or perform statistical research, or provide customer support, or to contact you when necessary. We use your Financial Data to verify your qualifications for certain products or services and if we need to bill you for products and services. We use your Demographic Data to customize and tailor your experience on the Site, displaying content that we think you might be interested in and according to your preferences.

(b) SHARING OF PERSONAL INFORMATION. We share certain categories of information we collect from you in the ways described in this Privacy Policy. We may share Demographic Data with advertisers and other third parties on an aggregate (i.e., non-personally-identifiable) or personally-identifiable basis at ISMAILI CHAMBER’s sole discretion. We may share Contact Data with other companies who may want to send you information about their products or services, unless you have specifically requested that we not share Contact Data with such companies. We also may share Contact Data and Financial Data with our business partners who assist us by performing core services (such as hosting, billing, fulfillment, or data storage and security) related to our operation of the Site. Those business partners may agree to uphold the same standards of security and confidentiality that we have promised to you in this Privacy Policy, but we anticipate they will only use your Contact Data and other Personal Information to carry out their specific business obligations to Company. If you do not want us to share your Contact Data with any third parties, please email us at support@ismailichamber.org, but please understand that such a request will likely limit your ability to take advantage of all of the features and services we offer on the Site. In addition, we maintain a procedure for you to review and request changes to your Personal Information; this procedure is described in Section 3.1, below. Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through the Site’s public message boards, or any other medium, this information may be collected and used by others and the ISMAILI CHAMBER is indemnified and held harmless from all claims stemming therefrom.

(c) USER CHOICE REGARDING COLLECTION, USE, AND DISTRIBUTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION. You may choose not to provide us with any Personal Information. In such an event, you can still access and use much of the Site; however you may not be able to access and use those portions of the Site that require your Personal Information. As a condition for using this Site, you agree to receive information and promotional material from us or from some of our partners.

CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

Except as otherwise provided in this Privacy Policy, we will make every effort to keep your Personal Information private and do not anticipate sharing it with third parties, unless such disclosure is necessary to: (a) comply with a court order or other legal process; (b) protect our rights or property; (c) comply with this Privacy Policy, or (d) enforce our Terms of Service. Your Personal Information will be stored on secure servers that are not accessible by third parties and commensurate with other non-profit organizations website norms. We hope to provide you with the capability to transmit you Personal Information via secured and encrypted channels if you use a similarly equipped web browser.

3.1. USER ABILITY TO ACCESS, UPDATE, AND CORRECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

We maintain a procedure in order to help you confirm that your Personal Information remains correct and up-to-date. At any time, you may log-in and visit your member profile. Through your member profile you may review and update your Personal Information that we have already collected.

3.2. LOST OR STOLEN INFORMATION

You must promptly notify ISMAILI CHAMBER and any online payment provider if your credit card, user name, or password is lost, stolen, or used without permission. In such an event, you expressly agree and understand that ISMAILI CHAMBER is held harmless against any and all claims and disclaims all liability.
